I think there's no way we should be catering for people who type  
command like "git push" just to see what the synopsis does.

The verb "push" very clearly has connotations of a state-changing,  
possibly irreversible action (unlike other verbs like "log" or "show").

People who type "git push" just to see a synopsis need to learn a  
lesson; the lesson being that if you want to find out what a command  
does the safest thing is to type "git help push" instead.

Cheers,
